Are you able to see a new case today, trying to get my sister to switch to you!
from a 503 phone number, Wednesday, December 28, 2:15 PM EST

Also my sister can't work cuz of the pain, can you help with a letter to insurance company.
from a 503 phone number, Thursday, December 29, 2:46 PM EST

Is it considered rude to text your lawyer? I text lawyers a lot, but they are all like one year out of law school and my friends. My text messages to them usually say things like, "Yo let's get some ice cream," not, "Can you help with a letter to insurance company?"

Steve: clearly a feminist. "A woman's place is not in the kitchen. A woman's place is on the phone with the pizza parlor!"
Hey mom make it home safe?love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu soooooooo mmmmmmuuuuuucccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhh
from a 513 phone number, Sunday, December 25, 5:48 PM EST

513 abides by a standard rule in correspondence: if you can't think of how to make it clear that you really love someone, either make the words bigger (I LOVE YOU), or in ital (I love you), or in different colors (no idea how to do that on blogger), or really long (see above). That way everyone will understand how seriously you take your love.

Oh, sorry. Should I have said "nsfw" first?

So apparently newtown wasn't THAT bad ystdy haha
from a 203 phone number, Monday, December 26, 2:58 PM EST

Sometimes Christmas isn't all that we want it to be. This is true with many things, but especially with holidays. When you're like, "How much longer do I have to stay in this small house with a million people, watching Harry Potter #1 and drinking non-spiked eggnog because Aunt Marie is 'on the wagon'?"

from an 808 phone number, Thursday, December 29, 5:16 PM EST

Simply: 808 wants Leila to tell Mike to let the kids stay with him so they won't get sick. I get that part. The part I don't get is: does 808 actually know people named Kai, Ki, and Try?

from a 703 phone number, Thursday, December 29, 5:44 PM EST

Drugs and alchol are rotting your brain and eating your soul.
from a 774 phone number, Friday, December 30, 2:02 PM EST

Possibly true. Kind of depends on how much drugs and alcohol Leila is doing, and how often. Good sentiment, 774, but needs more reasoned analysis.
Looking for levis
from a 610 phone number, Friday, December 30, 6:27 PM EST

Oh my lord, it is so hard to find jeans that fit, you know? I am exhausted just thinking about it.
My wallet was in the other purse.
from a 602 phone number, Friday, December 30, 10:51 PM EST

Trust me, better that than losing it entirely.
Remember when we always used to "simba" our text tubes in 8th grade? good times!!!
misss you <3

from a 781 phone number, Friday, December 30, 11:55 PM EST

I would love to know what it means to "simba" a test tube. Does it mean you make it fall in love with another test tube named Nala? Does it mean that your test tube "just can't wait to be king"?
I love you
from a 704 phone number, Saturday, December 31, 6:07 AM EST

It would have been really sweet, had Leila received this message.

from a 419 phone number, Saturday, December 31, 7:33 AM EST

Even though I assume these texts are from Megan, it would be a whole lot more interesting if they were from Trevor.

The correct answer is 42. That is how many Leila Texts I received during my two weeks abroad. In the grand scheme of things, that's not actually too many. Let's see what people have been talking about since December 16, shall we?
